I desperately need some help regarding the differences. I suppose the questions i need answered are:

1) What compression ratio does the RB20DE have...i know the RB20DET is 8.5:1

2) Do they make the extra compression using piston size , combustion chamber volume or a bit of both?

3) What are the casting numbers on each head....going from memory my old head was 74L4, the new head thats now on the car is 72L3 (?) The numbers are different and i cant remember exact designations. Do all RB20DET heads use the same casting number?

Basically new head on car and its meant to be an RB20DET head, but cranking pressure is 225psi and the car pings under load, forget about boost :rofl: Just trying to confirm i have the right head..

hi roy the rb20 de had a conpression of 10.5 to 1 not sure on the actuall design of them but I seem to remeber some one saying the heads were a bit differnet.

but then again I have heard of several rb20 de's being turbo charged with out too many issues

sux about your head I would be looking into it. I still have my old head sitting in the garage even if you jsut wantto take measure ments

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
